I did read the Ukrainians we were training did have some combat experience i.e. weren't raw recruits.
Interesting thought regarding the training curriculum. Its no doubt informed by Ukr high command in light of their experiences. Maybe the view is that their troops could have done better in the likes of Severodonetsk?
